Don't like my ratings? Too bad.

Twizzler0171 - Good job, this ties in well with the overall signature, especially the sunset. I think the "the" could have been left behind but it sounds good none the less.

Kalathalan Excellent job at picking a good word for your subtext. Radiance, I think, is the best way to describe a sun, sunset, sunrise whatever. The "elegance" part, I'm a little iffy about though. To me, the picture has more of a "majestic" feeling to it rather than an "elegant" feeling to it.

Amarise I love it! The word "fading", in my opinion, is a lovely way to describe the setting of the sun. The word "glory" really comes to mind when I look at the signature. So, to sum it up, great job!

JellyFish72 Your subtext would work so much better if one, the picture in the signature portrayed a sun, or even a sunrise and two, the picture had more of a gold-ish color in it. However, this signature has a sunset in it, and I think your subtext should definitely incorporate the idea that the sun is setting. I think you could have changed your subtext a little bit so it fits in with what I said above.

Livin_in_the_shadow I have no idea how you pulled out that subtext. "A grave for the blaze" would have worked just fine, and may have been a good subtext too. "How radiant!" just doesn't work, especially the ! mark. The set itself is simple, and serious. "How radiant!" adds humor to your subtext, which definitely does not fit into the signature.

.:Requiem:. It's a lovely subtext, it sounds beautiful. Normally, I may have nagged you about incorporating the fact that the sun is setting, but I feel the "western skies" part puts that in, in a subtle way. Great job!

Watericesage Meh, it's not great, but it's not bad either. 'Tis a safe subtext, yes.

(*Dranzer*) I can see you were going somewhere...and then crashed into a dead end. I can see how "the end" would possibly be in your subtext, but I just don't understand how "the beginning" fits in. Plus, although it does have something to do with a sunset, I just feel it's not "specially made" for this signature. I'm not implying you copied it or anything (:P) but I feel that while it works with this signature, you could take it and paste it into a signature surrounding a whole different topic. Meh, you coulda done better.

Maryann This just does not fit in at all with the signature, is there anything else I can say? I can see where you might have been going, but...you never got there, that's for sure.

Sir_Michael This subtext's kind of...cheesy, I guess, especially considering the mood of the signature. It's just too humorous for the signature...it doesn't fit well into the signature.

Ledi Ooh! I love the wording of your subtext...but it doesn't fit in great with the signature. This would have been the perfect subtext if, for example, the signature showed a picture of a sun setting and a moon rising blended together - but it doesn't, so, you could have done better.

Maniac I like your subtext in general, I suppose, but you could have tweaked it more. For one, the "..." would have worked much better if it was a fade. Two, the "my delight" part just seems a tad on the humorous side, in my opinion. Not much, but it's heading there. Still, it's an okay subtext, and I could see it going onto the signature.

Stephanie I'm just going to say it straight-forward. The signature has a sunset on it...not a sunrise. So, "A new day has come" makes NO sense at all.

Twinkle Your subtext is very nice, not great, but definitely not terrible. I, myself, feel the subtext works better with the "..." there rather than without. Good job!

Lionheartwitty Excellent subtext! It works very well with the signature. The only thing is, I just don't like the wording of your subtext for some reason...it's still good though, changed or not :)

DM was on fire! I don't think this subtext makes much sense, period.

Hellyer What else can I say? It's just too humorous for the mood of this signature.

The_dog_god Lovely, lovely. The only thing I don't like much is the word "beauty". I think it would have worked much better with, for example, "Blazing Radiance" Bleh, bleh, I know someone already had a subtext somewhat similar...but whatever.

Eliminate: JellyFish72, Sir_Michael, Maryann, Stephanie, Hellyer

I can't say for sure until Dawn finishes her ratings.

.:Requiem:. I'm not over keen on this one, how do you know it was in the 'western skies' and even if it was it just seems a little unnecessary to put that in. It really makes no difference whether it was in the east or west to the viewer. I did like the beginning though, 'Fire bathes' but feel that it would have worked better with either 'Fire Bathes the sky' or 'Fire Bathes the night sky'.



Where else would the sun set, exactly? The eastern skies? :P [/quote]

Why not? Are you trying to tell me that the Eastern part of the world has 24 hours of sunshine?:P

I took your subtext to mean that the sun was setting in the western skies ie: in the western part of the world.

Whatever you actually meant though, it doesn't take away from that point I made that it was unnecessary, therefore I stand by my rating.

She hasn't chosen who to eliminate

I'm gonna be gone, oh well, I knew my subtext was super bad, I have a ton now in my head that would have been super better.

Wed Feb 23, 2005 1:11 pm

Sorry, guys. I've been sick, I completely forgot to finish. Don't hurt me, it won't happen again.

I do expect you to stand by them and all...but it is true that the sun sets in the WESTERN part of the skies. On whatever side of the world.

I know that it sets in the west side of the sky but I am saying it does not rise in the eastern half of the world and then set in the western half of the world. Whatever side of the world you live in you have a sunrise and a sunset.
